1 Da Ataliya mahaifiyar Ahaziya ta ga ɗanta ya mutu, sai ta shiga hallaka dukan iyalin gidan sarauta.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
2 Amma Yehosheba,’yar Sarki Yoram,’yar’uwar Ahaziya, ta ɗauki Yowash ɗan Ahaziya daga cikin’ya’yan sarkin da ake shiri a kashe, ta ɓoye. Ta ɓoye shi daga Ataliya a wurin mai lura da shi a ɗakin kwana; don kada a kashe shi.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from amongst the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 Ya kasance a ɓoye, shi da mai lura da shi, a haikalin Ubangiji shekara shida yayinda Ataliya take mulkin ƙasar.
He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 A shekara ta bakwai sai Yehohiyada ya aika a kira komandodin sojoji ɗari-ɗari, da Keretawa, da matsara, ya sa aka kawo masa su a haikalin Ubangiji. Ya ƙulla yarjejjeniya da rantsuwa da su a haikalin Ubangiji, sa’an nan ya nuna musu ɗan sarki.
In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the LORD’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in the LORD’s house, and showed them the king’s son.
5 Ya umarce su cewa, “Ga abin da za ku yi sa’ad da kuka zo aiki a Asabbaci, ku raba kanku kashi uku. Kashi ɗaya za su yi gadin gidan sarki,
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
6 kashi ɗaya za su yi gadin Ƙofar Sur, kashi ɗaya kuma za su yi gadin ƙofar da take bayan’yan gadin fada. Dukan waɗannan ƙungiyoyi uku za su yi gadin fadan,
a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
7 ku kuma da kuke a sauran ƙungiyoyi biyu da kun saba hutu a Asabbaci, duk za ku yi gadin haikali don sarki.
The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the LORD’s house around the king.
8 Ku tsaya kewaye da sarki, kowane mutum da makaminsa a hannu. Duk wanda ya kusace ku, ku kashe shi. Ku manne wa sarki duk inda ya tafi.”
You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”
9 Komandodin sojoji suka yi yadda Yehohiyada firist ya umarta. Kowa ya ɗauki mutanensa, waɗanda za su kama aiki Asabbaci da waɗanda za su kama hutun Asabbaci, suka zo wurin Yehohiyada firist.
The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Sai ya ba komandodin māsu da garkuwoyi da dā suke na Dawuda, waɗanda suke a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.
The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the LORD’s house.
11 Matsaran kuma kowa da makaminsa a hannu, suka tsaya kewaye da sarki, kusa da bagade da kuma haikali, daga gefen kudu zuwa gefen arewa na haikalin.
The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
12 Sai Yehohiyada ya fito da ɗan sarki ya sa masa rawani a kā; ya ba shi shafin alkawari, ya kuma furta shi sarki. Suka shafe shi da mai, mutane kuma suka yi ta tafi suka ihu, suna cewa, “Ran sarki yă daɗe.”
Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
13 Sa’ad da Ataliya ta ji surutun matsara da na mutane, sai ta tafi wurin mutanen a haikalin Ubangiji.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;
14 Da ta duba sai ga sarki, tsaye kusa da ginshiƙi, bisa ga al’ada. Hafsoshi da masu busa suna tsaye kusa da sarki, dukan mutanen ƙasar kuma suna farin ciki suna busa ƙahoni. Sai Ataliya ta keta tufafinta ta tā da murya tana cewa, “Kai! Wannan cin amana ne! Ai, wannan cin amana ne!”
and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the shofars by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew shofars. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
15 Yehohiyada ya umarci komandodin sojoji waɗanda suke lura da mayaƙa, ya ce, “Ku fitar da ita daga cikinku, ku kuma kashe duk wanda ya bi ta.” Gama firist ɗin ya ce, “Kada a kashe ta a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.”
Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”
16 Saboda haka suka kama ta yayinda ta kai inda dawakai sukan shiga filin fada, a can kuwa aka kashe ta.
So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
17 Sa’an nan Yehohiyada ya yi alkawari tsakanin Ubangiji da sarki da kuma mutane cewa za su zama mutanen Ubangiji. Ya kuma yi alkawari tsakanin sarki da mutane.
Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also between the king and the people.
18 Sai dukan mutanen ƙasar suka tafi haikalin Ba’al suka rushe shi. Suka farfasa bagadai da kuma gumaka, suka kuma kashe Mattan wanda yake firist na Ba’al a gaban bagade. Sa’an nan Yehohiyada firist ya sa matsara a haikalin Ubangiji.
All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the LORD’s house.
19 Ya tafi tare da komandodin sojoji, Keretawa, matsara da kuma dukan mutanen ƙasar, tare kuwa suka kawo sarki daga haikalin Ubangiji zuwa cikin fada, ta ƙofar matsara. Sarki kuwa ya ɗauki mazauninsa a bisa kursiyin sarauta,
He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the LORD’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
20 dukan mutanen ƙasar suka yi murna. Birnin ya sami salama don an kashe Ataliya da takobi a fada.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.
21 Yowash yana da shekara bakwai sa’ad da ya fara mulki.
Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
